Ford Sees Uneven Car Sales Globally

Top Ford Motor Co. executives said Thursday that the global auto industry is slated for improvement this year despite uneven performance in several regions around the world.

"We are seeing growth. It's modest growth," Mark Fields, Ford's president of the Americas, said at a conference of Wall Street analysts in New York Thursday. He forecast an increase of as much as 10% in global auto sales for the year, with strength in sales to both retail and commercial customers.
